Transport is a critical system in the city, which, through providing access to essential activities, enables diverse women and men, girls and boys to "appropriate" their right to the city and to realize a fully rounded and substantive urban citizenship. Yet, despite decades of work on gender in urban development and urban planning, mainstream transport planning still remains largely untouched by debates on diversity and difference in cities. The tendency to focus on the economic and now environmental aspects continues to dominate urban transport. In contrast, concerns for the identity of urban residents or "users" are addressed through, and ultimately marginalized to, "the social" and distributional aspects of urban transport planning. This paper argues that the distributional aspects of transport are cross cutting, and go beyond the disaggregation of transport users by social relations such as class, gender, age and ethnicity. The social identities of transport "users" are deeply embedded in social relations and urban practices, the latter ranging from the everyday lives of people to urban policies and planning. Furthermore, in transport, these social relations are played out in public space, with implications for how diverse women and men, girls and boys are able to exercise individual and collective "travel choice" and negotiate access to essential activities in the city. Recognition of these processes, as reflected in the "deep distribution" of the transport system, is essential to reframing the notion of "travel choice" and, ultimately, to urban transport and urban planning that is committed to social justice in cities.

“…Avineri (2012) különböző közlekedési formák közti érzékelt különbséget vizsgálta környezettudatossági szempontból. Két-két jelentősen eltérő széndioxid-kibocsátású közlekedési formát összehasonlítva, amikor az utazási eszközre vonatkozó kérdést nyereségként fogalmazták meg (ezzel a járművel kevesebbet szennyezné-nek), akkor alig volt érzékelt különbség kimutatható a vá-laszokban, míg ellenkező esetben (ezzel a járművel többet szennyeznének) a résztvevők határozottan különbözőnek érzékelték a lehetőségeket.…”

és Cass Sunstein nudge-ról szóló könyve alig tíz évvel ezelőtt, 2008-ban jelent meg, de a meghatározó munka mára számos kutatást eredményezett, a döntéstervezés újabb és újabb kísérleteiről jelentek meg tudományos beszámolók. Egyre több konferenciát rendeznek a témakörben, sőt egyes országok, mint például Nagy-Britannia, a nudgeokat egyenesen a kormányzati politikák részévé emelték. A témában született nagyszámú publikáció jelentős része mindemellett kritikusan áll hozzá az új eszközhöz, a nudge koncepciója igen hamar politikai, filozófiai és etikai viták össztüzében találta magát. A szerzők cikkükben szisztematikusan feltárják a nudge körüli szakirodalmat, osztályozzák különböző megvalósulási formáit, bemutatják a szakpolitikai vonatkozásokat, és kitérnek a nudge-ok alkalmazását ért kritikákra is.

“…It can be argued that the main thinking in transport planning and policy making stem from neoclassical economics in which travellers are assumed to make choices which are rational, consistent, and efficient, and apply cognitive processes to maximise their economic utility (Avineri, 2012). For example, Ben-Akiva and Lerman (1985) describe the theory of choice as a collection of procedures that are defined by the following elements: (i) decision maker, (ii) alternatives, (iii) attributes of alternatives, and (iv) a decision rule.…”

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR TEXT. AbstractThe provision of information on transport-related carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) to the traveller can be seen as an instrument to increase the likelihood of more sustainable choices being made by individuals. However, as transport-related CO 2 emissions are largely seen as a 'social' cost rather than a 'private' cost to the individual, the behavioural engagement with and response to information on environmental effects of travel choices may therefore be limited. It is argued that framing, studied in a range of contexts, can be used to enhance the evaluation of choice attributes and promote desirable (more sustainable) choices. An experiment is reported that examine the effect of valence framing of amounts of CO 2 emissions on the perceived differences between alternative travel modes. Through the use of positive and negative terms, the information was framed to focus attention either on the potential of a travel mode to provide environmental benefit (positive frame) or on its potential to reduce an environmental loss (negative frame). Survey participants' estimates of CO 2 amounts were compared for positive and negative framing of the same information using an ordered logit (OL) model. The findings imply that negative framing is more effective than positive framing in highlighting differences between CO 2 amounts of alternative travel modes and therefore is more likely to influence travel-related choices.
